The most scientific page and resources on open theism and openness theology is definitely that of the Reformed theologian John Sanders.
The neoplatonist Church Father’s ideas were borrowed by the adherents of Reformed theology. Open theism studies a lot this historical development.
Classical theism (Catholic and Reformed theology, Calvinism included) borrowed unbiblical notions from Greek philosophy.
The section “Open theism – Scientific” scans whether science supports the open theist view of the universe and the relationship between God and mankind. By nature, the fields in question need insights into natural sciences like physics and biology in the first place, including quantum physics and the theory of evolution, and to social sciences, like economics or history. I’m convinced theologies cannot ignore state-of-the-art scientific research, and in the same way they cannot ignore the inspired words of God. If needed, theologies need to be revised and adjusted, counting open theism as well.
